What's included?
Practical Year 1 resources for pupils to physically make 2D shapes, aligning with KS1 Maths objectives for geometry and properties of shapes. Materials use the CPA approach to build conceptual understanding of how shapes are constructed from sides and vertices, developing reasoning. This essential small step supports mastery of shape properties and is key to meeting national curriculum expectations for practical geometry. The CS Maths Scheme provides varied construction tasks for secure application.
